The BJCP sets the international stand in beer judging for home brewers and others. The beer judge training program has established in Auckland this year, and a Wellington training program will kick off early next year.

If you're interested in becoming a certified beer judge and learning more a bout beer and what makes it work, come along to the Fork & Brewer. Gordon will take us through the process of evaluating beer and giving useful feedback, along with Australia's top BJCP judge Stuart Upton. There will also be information on signing-up for next year's training program. Gordon's New Zealand visit is supported by Gladfield Malt - cheers!

More details to follow next week, including reserving your seat at the masterclass. And Christchurch beer fans - Gordon will be hosting a Christchurch masterclass on Friday 1 December.
